If there is an HTTP server "httpd" that does not understand Apache style configuration file given via "-f" (use of which is a misconfiguration this patch will start allowing users to make), we would need to add a new codepath to the script to generate a configuration file to support that server. I do not think we have a mechanism to disambiguate different HTTP server implementations that claim to be "httpd", so at that point we would need to add something other than the command name for disambiguation. But for now I think your patch suffices. As you pointed out, the last "case" statement in instaweb explicitly have rejected servers we did not know about, so my worry was unfounded; nobody could have been using a daemon whose name is "httpd", be it ArchLinux's Apache or something incompatible. Thanks.
